While busy with various things, even preparing for the wedding, none of Turin’s servants complained.
No, in fact, they did complain.
However, it was a little different from Lilian’s expectations.
“A week is too short. Even a birthday party can’t be like roasting beans in lightning like this.”
Mrs. Hayworth took up her arms and tried to dissuade her, but Lilian would not yield. No matter how much she appealed, she only smiled apologetically and insisted that she had no choice but to do so.
“The important thing now is not the perfect wedding.”
It was a will that even Cedric could not break.
In the end, the situation was settled with Mrs. Hayworth stepping back in tears.
“This stubborn Islar blood! In the end, even the young lady inherited this lineage.”
So everyone thought this way. Now, there’s only one way for Turin to ignite their fighting spirit.
“From now on, we will present the most perfect wedding in Islar’s honor as employees. Got it?”
“Yes!”
Perhaps if Lily was the old Lily, they wouldn’t have been so enthusiastic.
However, after suffering a fever, Lilian changed.
And unofficially, she tried to do her best as the hostess.
It wasn’t something very grandiose. As she spent more than half of daytime sleeping, there were limits to what she could do.
But Lilian had money.
The difficult wealth she received from her older brother, who loved his younger sister, for whenever a cause arose!
At first, Lilian started by carefully distributing special treats.
It wasn’t a great reward. However, not many people could refuse the hot drink she was handing out after washing clothes in cold water and in cold weather or when they were standing around all night while saying, ‘the young miss appreciates your hard work.’
“I don’t know why the young lady suddenly gave me this…”
“It’s still nice because it’s warm.”
The servants were terribly grateful. There wasn’t a bad reaction even if she stopped it.
From then on, Lilian began to release money little by little.
“Everyone, if you have a book you want to read, please fill out the application form here!”
“What kind of wind suddenly blew, a new book?”
“The lady told me to spend generously on the purchase of rest room fixtures.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes, really.”
“Mrs. Hayworth!”
“Starting today, everyone whose turn it is to go home should stop by and collect their vacation pay.”
“Oh my gosh!”
“You must not forget to thank the lady.”
Turin Castle has been missing a proper hostess for a while. It’s been a long time since the servants received trivial recognition and consideration from their masters.
When they began to enjoy the joy of having a proper mistress for the first time in a long while, guilt began to rise from their hearts from then on.
“I didn’t know she was such a good person…”
“I shouldn’t have pretended not to hear when she called me before.”
“When she was sick, I thoroughly misunderstood that she was just faking it. I shouldn’t have done that…”
The servants who were worried about the past couldn’t help but be more loyal.
An order had been issued to such people to prepare for Lilian’s wedding.
“It has to be perfect in every way.”
“Of course.”
The aged butler, cook, and gardener all nodded at once.
“I thought the wedding would be held at the Imperial Palace, hehe. I just want to thank you for entrusting me with the work.”
“Let’s not envy the Imperial Palace. Lest the guests who dare to come don’t disparage Turin and the young lady.”
In the midst of their fighting spirit, someone sighed and muttered.
“After this wedding, the lady will no longer be in Turin.”
“Ha…”
All of them sighed in unison.
“Still, the lady is leaving, and this is the only thing we can do, so…”
“Let’s do our best. So, when is the wedding?”
After the notice of a week from now was delivered, the servants almost fell into a semi-frenzied state.
“Are you sane?”
“Our Lady Lilian’s wedding can’t be like beans roasted by lightning!”
“What kind of madman sprung up that conscienceless schedule!”
The atmosphere, which seemed to pierce the air at any moment, was immediately suppressed by a single statement, ‘The person who decided on the schedule is our Lily Islar.’
“Miss…, why…one week…”
“This is a test, Lady, is testing our abilities… We must succeed…”
“What to do when we succeed… I heard that the Lady will be going to someone else’s house in a week…”
The servants, who were greatly shocked and stripped off their temper, scrubbed, mopped, waxed, and polished while suffering from anxiety.
It seemed quite strange to see a group of working people wandering around in a state of anxiety.
It’s like a night of living corpses!
However, these gloomy zombies were extremely hardworking. In addition, they had the habit of showing hostility only to certain people.
Here, the specific person meant the Grand Duke’s party, including Damian, Matteo and Ivan.
‘They’re going to take away our Lady Lily like a thief in a week!’
‘If you get to serve such a lady-like mistress, you should be grateful!’
‘How lucky they are that they don’t even get struck by lightning?’
‘What the hell are they doing without crawling on their knees? Are they crazy enough to walk around on two feet in front of the lady?’
…Damian was the only one who was unflinching and happy in the slightly maniacal glares.
Matteo cynically admired his uncle’s audacity.
“I wonder if the reason my uncle was able to survive on the front lines was because no one could pierce that iron face.”
“I think it probably was.”
Ivan agreed as if he was fed up with it.
Anyway, everything was going according to Damian’s intention.
The servants did their best to iron the curtains, prepare the flowers for decoration, and sweep and polish until the castle was worn away.
Among them, Mrs. Hayworth, the housekeeper, paid the most attention to the dress of the main character, Lilian.
However, this time, the party involved was not cooperative.
As with all aspects of her wedding, Lilian’s idea for the wedding dress was simple.
“I can wear the clothes I have.”
“Miss!”
Not only Mrs. Hayworth, who screamed out loud, but even Rita, who showed little emotional ups and downs, had her mouth wide open.
“But it’s impossible to match clothes in a week.”
It usually takes three weeks for a dress to be tailored in a rush.
Lilian said she never intended to tailor a special wedding dress.
In her old world, she would have been quite disappointed that she couldn’t try on a dress, no matter how casual she was…
‘Now this kind of dress has become a casual wear that I wear every day.’
Besides, in Lilian’s world, her perception of a snow-white wedding dress was not yet fixed.
“But, my God. To think that Islar’s golden jade couldn’t even make a new dress for her wedding day…”
“Before going to Cantacun, my older brother prepared so thoroughly that there are many clothes I have never worn before. If I wear one of them, it’s still new.”
Lilian tilted her head calmly and murmured.
“Besides, no matter how much I decorate it, it will be difficult for me to stand out from the groom.”
Yes. She had one more weakness that other brides didn’t have.
It was the fact that the groom-to-be was the owner of more outstanding appearance than her.
Platinum hair like a dazzling halo.
Mysterious and colorful purple eyes!
No matter how you look at it, it’s a spectacular color. He was an exquisite beauty who seemed to have been painted with all their heart and soul with a delicate brush, but thanks to his tall stature, broad shoulders and title of war hero, he never looked feminine.
From the spots on the creamy skin to the dimples that are lovingly dented. Damian’s beauty, which had nothing lacking, was nothing more than a weapon, adding a little exaggeration.
It was no longer a question of whether or not she would look ugly when next to a beautiful specimen who could mesmerize anyone looking.
It becomes a question of whether or not she could secure a presence enough to look ugly.
“T-that… Indeed.”
Even Mrs. Hayworth, who loved Lilian right after Cedric and her own children, couldn’t deny it.
‘It’s not that my lady is ugly!’
She swore by the ancestors of the family, it wasn’t Lilian’s fault.
Excluding Mrs. Hayworth’s selfishness, Lilian was quite compliant.
The proof was that when she stood next to Damian, she didn’t look uglier than usual and no mishaps happened.
